the ongoing fighting and dying humanitarian situation driving phantasms in the east ukraine from their homes the u.n. says around one hundred ten thousand refugees have fled to russia but the u.s. state department has another version of the situation in this situation u.n. h.d.r.'s estimate of the number of people moving across the ukrainian border comes directly from russian government source is who suffice to say have not always been entirely accurate here and just a couple of points on this because i know there's been some questions u.n.h.c.r. statement did not say that one hundred ten thousand refugees fled ukraine into russia what it said is that number of people had crossed the border at some point that could be to go visit their grandmother and come back. russian regions bordering ukraine have declared a state of emergency as they deal with an influx of refugees from ukraine officials say they have to accommodate thousands every day the russian migration service puts

the total number of people who fled the violence in ukraine four hundred thousand. now the news israel has bombarded garza's with dozens of air strikes in retaliation against the islamic group hamas group hamas which it believes to be behind the killing of three jewish teenagers this is footage of the funeral of the youngsters that were abducted more than two weeks ago and found dead early this week in the west bank their deaths of also sparked a firestorm in international media. that sense of anger and that sense that there will be some retaliation for these threats is becoming increasingly apparent that has promised to make our must pay for the three teenagers found dead on monday so there is a huge amount of grief discovering the grim discovery of the three bodies of those israeli teenagers late yesterday israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the three teenagers were murdered in cold blood by what he described as animals. while

in his letter of condolence president obama described the killing of the jewish boys as a senseless act of terror against innocent youth meanwhile the killing of a palestinian teen abducted and slaughtered overnight in east jerusalem in a suspected revenge attack has gone largely unnoticed as well as the killing of an eighteen year old palestinian by israeli troops during a raid in the west bank well many more civilian deaths are blamed on israeli defense forces in the occupied territories and here are some of the figures according to official figures more than fifteen hundred palestinian children have been killed and up to six thousand injured by israeli forces since two thousand and that means that one palestinian child has been killed every three days activists mustafa barghouti says the international media has repeatedly harsh israel's deadly wreck on the israeli army has been killing palestinians for several years we are

talking about thousands and thousands of palestinians were killed by the israeli army in terms of thousands of people who were injured during forty seven years of military occupation even when we organize peaceful nonviolent protest the israeli army responded by shooting the high velocity gun for young people. i live in that incident and the israeli army if used to conduct. the investigation into the matter so to come an echo of american exceptionalism but the leader of militant group isis is urging muslims from around the world to come to the needy to islamic caliphate we look at why the conflict in the country might be the result of washington's policy plus the us cyber security for signs of hundreds of western energy companies under threat we take a look at whether industrial espionage is opening up

a new front line mystery stories plus more on the way. the media leave us so we leave the baby. out of the scene bush and secure. play your part of the physical. issues that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politics. mark t. . i'm abby martin the stories we cover here are not going on here in iraq southern big story the extra same time there's a reason they don't want you to know. now let's break the set. speak your language what i mean by be worn out of the. program see documentaries in spanish

what matters to you. the alternative angle of this story. here to. find out me visit. again welcome back now a proposal to create high security prisons compared to the notorious one town in my bay detention center is steering debate in greece the bill slammed by critics is fascist will go to parliament on the day inmates are now trying to draw the public's attention to their plight well here's an extract from their emotional statement they say they are fighting to remain human instead of forgotten shadows let's get more on this now from marty's marine across the river who joins me live in the studio. the inmates have also tried to go on hunger strike have been made to

make their voices heard what can you tell us about that well around four and a half thousand inmates across the country it all started on the eighteenth of june and then every single day more and more prisoners from across the country join this hunger strike and they're mainly protest against the legislation which envisions the creation of a type c. maximum security prison now they believe that this will be the group version of guantanamo bay also they demand also this a bill in versions every structure of the country's premier court nor called in the heightening of the legislation so for example the person is also wants to see the flights the conjugal visits re trials of those imprisoned for life sentences for drug offenses because there was a change in the law but the penal code was an updated and also the release of migrants face in the importation i mentioned again their main concern though are these. new maximum security prisons because it's only the jails but also there will be when's added to existing prisons to have these types in the wings and volved in

there now the national commission for human rights has already said that this these prisons reflect a transition from me a billet sation so a model of absolute elimination is not extreme retaliation also another country's main opposition party has addressed this issue with parliament and i actually asked the m.p.'s considering this bill actually go and visit some of the correctional facilities in the country but that request was denied and in general we know that great prisons are notorious for being overcrowded prisons are understaffed and in fact we managed to speak to one of the prisoners we had to conceal his identity of course so that's the reason why what you're about to see the face is covered and the voice has been altered so let's listen and see what life is like in the great prison we say no to the green guantanamo namely to a prison inside a prison without any rights without any future prisoners who have completed one fifth of their sentences should be allowed to visit their families we live filthy

conditions mice and cockroaches there are no doctors here for every illness they just give us aspirins they are prisoners here we have no money so nobody gives them anything to eat we find cockroaches in our food the prison food is disgusting it's better to eat nothing than to eat this food five prisoners live in a cell designed for two we haven't eaten for the past ten days and the doctor has given us nothing they come and eat some sugar i'm in a desperate situation i have already lost ten kilos and i can't even walk. now in fact in some prisons the ratio of prisoners to guards is five hundred to one and in fact the prison guards were on strike recently just and in fact yesterday so it's not only about a being of a crowd of prison guards are complaining as well and all of this of course became morris'. after the financial crisis kicked in that was just there this may and even though the government to save the situation is improving in the country people

don't feel it and there are strikes and people are marching on the streets there are protests every single day on very different different issues in fact when it comes to budget cuts for prisons in the country we saw for example in two thousand and nine they got one hundred thirty six million euros now it's down to one hundred eleven million euros which might seem still quite enough but for example netherlands which has the same amount of prisoners in the country they get about two point five billion euros that was figures for two thousand and twelve the latest that were released so also we've heard from lawyers and human rights groups constantly talking about the dire situation in prisons in greece so this is something that has to be changed prisoners are calling for prison guards are calling for it so now it's time for the government to address this issue they have made steps forward for example to tackle overcrowding now they're really saying you called with electronic tagging so this is the first step towards change but it's not enough and they also have to change the conditions in prisons that exist so for

sure the whole thing will go to parliament tomorrow ok thanks marina marine corps sort of giving us the latest that will lead a militant group isis is muslims worldwide to travel to iraq in syria and join their battle the recently declared islamic caliphate and already a message to lead the fight for their breakaway state investigative journalist mark karr says it's unlikely you can remain a single country as a result of the chaos. ice is not just creation of a serious wise it's how this origins in iraq itself in the jihad is resistance to the u.s. occupation when they would you have troops in iraq after the so-called surge there was a view. of those groups have been defeated or at least neutralized that probably never really happened and isis has been an hour to iraq not just because of what in syria but also by incompetence or terrorism and corruption at the amole government in iraq so all these different forces of crevasses regime which is very probable that

some iraq could fragment into three stages because i can't see the moment the time being any kind of and sectarian movement that could overcome the division but really to get up to shreds for. the jihadist group is now to seize control of the key syrian border turn have come after pouring in reinforcements from iraq it comes shortly after the white house approved a half a billion dollar windfall for rebels in syria the move was aimed to counter the radical islamic screen which is also fighting a sad and terrorizing cities in neighboring iraq but the plan was met with a storm of condemnation saying the aid to rebels would mean feeding america's enemy parties marina portnoy takes a look at washington's long involvement in the region. all over the arab world america has left behind its military footprint but i believe america is exceptional

. in part because we have shown a willingness through the sacrifice of blood and treasure to stand up not only for our own narrow self-interest but for the interests of all america's exceptional armed forces have invaded afghanistan and iraq dropped bombs on libya pakistan and yemen and reportedly trained rebels fighting to overthrow the government in syria. directly leading to the insurgency in iraq who are extremists have now declared their own caliphate not enough to just say that we are exceptional one way or the other the reason we can point to american exceptionalism is because we've done exceptional things and we do exceptional for. we have to live up to that standard but time and time again washington's eagerness to involve itself in foreign conflicts has fueled sic tarion divisions creating an exceptionally dangerous circumstance the us policy unfortunately. has destroyed and

made a mockery of the main you know what they have done in libya what they have done and continue to do whether done in iraq. it is all fun thing that. doesn't jive with claiming any kind of exceptionalism and yet in each case washington has washed its hands of any responsibility the united states of america is not responsible for what happened in libya nor is it responsible for what is happening in iraq today in the absence of u.s. military action iraq is warning that it could ask iran to carry out airstrikes against the hardest group isis that could throw a wrench into the works of american foreign policy potentially having to rely on an adversary to defeat a threat that washington itself is blamed for indirectly creating.

marina port niamh r.t. . a little later today on his cross talk panel discuss the impact of american neo conservative politics on the world and in particular in the middle east here's a quick preview. but neoconservatives have also been very successful in controlling the narratives of washington they succeed so for instance you have the catastrophe in iraq in the last decade but then the neoconservative narrative is that well yes the after great invasion was very successful invasion when there was a problem with the implementation of the occupation but then came the surge then came near victory for instance the catastrophe in syria is now being blamed even though the u.s. side is supporting with working with the saudis and others helped create this problem in syria where these extremist became very powerful as rebel forces some of the isis group and for a front the the narrative is that if obama had only sent in more military

support for the rebels earlier then it would have worked out fine. crosstalk a bit later on don't forget we've got plenty more for you at all websites including teenage game is in china will probably be turning off they call themselves the having to push ups in a real life call of g.t. you can learn about the country's new way to kewl internet addiction at our website elizabeth chilling moment at penn station in the u.s. state of wisconsin takes a direct hit from a tornado very dramatic with all that footage and more online for you and. your friends post a photo from a vacation you can't. call it different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still tends to rejection poetry keep. nora's. we

warning hungry may need additional budget cuts to lower government debt and avert the risk of re entering the european union's finance monitoring process it comes after budapest hardly managed to keep its deficit within e.u. limits artie's election the report on the countries the only path to keep afloat. damas had little hesitation when choosing a new car he opted for a major german brand only the car was manufactured in his home country if you want to buy it maybe you have to pay for. registration because of the tax so if you buy hanging from germany then. it will be cheaper. but it makes no difference i mean in terms of the quality right no. so if it's the same why pay more this logic may have driven several european car

manufacturers to set up factories in hungary with an obviously cheaper labor force than in germany but the one that is just as skilled back in the days when hungary was part of the socialist used to be one of the biggest car manufacturers in eastern europe when the country entered the european union most of its factories went bankrupt as their predecessor was not needed in europe almost a decade on europeans have decided to experience and are now producing their cars here largely because of that and we're talking several hundred thousand units produced annually hungary is now experiencing the biggest industrial growth in a decade but would that mean the two thousand and four edu accession promise of a better living has been capped a recent poll study suggested that seventy two percent of one variance felt that economically they were doing better on their communism i'm seventy two and thank god i have a good job because without it i wouldn't have survived with my pension unlike twenty five years ago when pensioners didn't have to work. having the area as a living standards are now worse than ten years ago the house for its consumption

is below ten units a girl level the investment is below ten years ago level hungary is a comic officials are happy to see improvement and say this is largely due to them finding their own ways to run the country no mr out but that may be among the reasons why hungary's prime minister orban does not get along with brussels a strong leadership that has unable to hungry to get out of this mess is something those politicians envy we want all the degrees of freedom that we can have understanding that being a member of a club like the european union it has implications for for the for the policies that we can pursue but we're not in favor of. having to coordinate more policies than necessary. hungary's recovering economy is now facing a big test e.u. funding is predicted to slow even more in the next three years that's when it will

be clear whether it has indeed found its own way but officials are already making no secret of it budapest is now looking eastwards to boost trade with russia and china. reporting from budapest in hungary you're watching r.t. international news take is next. gym is about seven years old it's one of the largest ten cities on the east coast of america and it's got about one hundred people here just because of economics the cost of how is a in this area especially is very high and i believe as an american we have a right. to carry about or to possess public land until something is created that's my house you see back there live it send them to well good at least then spend the. rest. if we hadn't done that we wouldn't have been home i want to
